Chinese Ambassador to Israel Found Dead at Home After Scathing Attack on Mike Pompeo

China’s Ambassador to Israel, Du Wei, who launched an astonishing attack on US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Friday, has been found dead in his apartment north of Tel Aviv, according to Israeli reports.

The official said Israeli police had launched an investigation but initial findings suggested no foul play in the death of the healthy 57-year-old.

Mr Du was only appointed ambassador in February having previously served as envoy to Ukraine. He was married and had a son but his family had yet to join him in Israel.

On Friday, his embassy made a scathing attack on US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo who had criticised China’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic on a visit to Israel.
